At the time of its release, the 5038G occupied a distinct position within Patek's collection—a full perpetual calendar complication housed in a case diameter that preceded the industry's subsequent shift toward larger proportions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe watch is powered by the caliber 240 Q, Patek Philippe's ultra-thin automatic perpetual calendar movement measuring just 3.88mm in height. The movement architecture features a 22K gold micro-rotor, rhodium-plated bridges with fausses côtes decoration, and a straight-line lever escapement. The Gyromax balance is adjusted to heat, cold, isochronism, and five positions, with a free-sprung self-compensating flat balance spring ensuring chronometric stability. The movement comprises 27 jewels and operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour, delivering a 48-hour power reserve.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase and Dial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 18K white gold case measures 36.0mm in diameter with a slim profile enabled by the caliber 240 Q's architecture. The hobnail-pattern bezel in white gold frames a black dial displaying white Arabic numeral hour markers and lozenge-shaped hands. Three perpetual calendar subdials indicate weekday and month at 12 o'clock, date and moonphase at 6 o'clock, and 24-hour indication with leap year inside those respective subdials. An outer minute track completes the dial layout. The exhibition sapphire caseback reveals the movement's finishing and the micro-rotor's operation. A recessed pusher at 9 o'clock advances the perpetual calendar mechanism. Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial. Patek Philippe logo appears on the crown.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation and Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis example is presented in excellent condition, consistent with proper care and maintenance.
